Revelations Made by a Government Detect
ive-Outrageous Plots in Ireland.
Cable Special to New York Evening Post.
The special correspondent of the Post sends
startling interview with a government spy in
Liverpool regarding a dynamite conspiracy
there. The spy says
''For some weeks have been engaged in try
ing to ascertain whether such an unlawful soci-
ETY. at all extant The result of my investi-
cations was to place beyond doubt the existence
in midst of a dynamite organization affiliated
to the Feniau Brotherhood in Now York. Those
belonging TO thes new brotherhood are a moro
desperate lot than their predecessors. They
stick at nothing know all the detect
ives personally, display much more
caution and deliberation, and in return
are all known TO the police. Every one
of them has been shadowed by two three de-
tectives, according to the resistance he might be
expected to offer. There is in Liverpool a secret
society of about one hundred persons, consisting
of tailors, shoemakers dock laborers. and men
who supported by subscriptions from New
York. They do not believe Parnell. Glad
stone, or any body. Their sole alleged object is
to make Ireland republic by violent means.
Prior to the jubilee raid was made on the
houses, lodgings and places of meeting of the
suspected parties in Liverpool. The result was
that the detectives obtained large amount of
documentary evidence which disclosed the work

Shocking Case of Wife Murder.

EVANSVILLE. Ind. Aug. ia special from
Uniontown, KY. gives particulars of the finding
of the body of a woman in Tradewater river
which, if the story told is true, will probably
bring to light one of the most diahocal crimes
eyer committed in this section. few days ago
the body of Mrs. Josie Woodie was found in the
river near Caseyville When taken from the
river, the blood ooZed from her mouth, ears and
nostrils. 1t was also discovered that her neck
and one OF her arms were timber, which pointed
to foul play. basket containing some clothing
belonging to the husband of the deceased woman
found close to where she was taken out
of the river. A coroner's inquest was held and
Boone Woodie, husband of the deceased, testified
that his wife and he had a falling out, and she
left his house. Without making any explana-
tion or trying to find out the real cause of the
DEATH a verdict rendered of suicide and a
hole dug the bank of the river, where
the corpse was buried. Several reports of foul
play are afioat. and in all probability the county
coroner will hold post-mortem of tine remains
1t seems that Boone Woodie had only been mar
ried a few weeks. and on July 4. at Dekeven, he
made some threats that he would drive Josie
from the house.

THE TORIES III DISTRESS.

A Persistent Demand that Lord Harting ton

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE unanimous and per-
sstent demand of the Tory press that Lord
Harrington shall join the Ministry have been
taken up by the rank and file of the Conserva-
tive party, and must ultimately have the effect
of persuading the Unionist leader to accept
Office however little his connection with the gov
eminent may benefit himself. his colleagues, or
his Tory allies at this moment of the govern
ments career. In response to the delrgecf peals
that has been showered upon Lord Harrington
to hasten to the rescue of the Salisbury Cabinet,
the Unionisr chief is credited with asking,
.Wnat is the use of coalition Ministry when
there are longer any Unionists in the coun-
try2' And it must be admitted that his question
is very pertinent one. Probably four-fifths of
Lord Hartington's followers in the House of
Commons are serving their last pariamen tary
term and the recent ele ections indicate that even
the noble Marquis himself will have hard time
in getting sufficient number of votes to return
him TO his seat by tn g time the inevitable dis
solution is precipiated. In this state of affairs

lists, into the Cabinet would strengt it in the
slightest degree, and it would seem to be the
most homo rable course by far were Lord Sails

head of unaltered Tory governments, leaving
Lord Harrington and his adherents to take care
of themselves, they set out to do in the be-

Boston. Mass, Aug. 17-An interesting story
of the marriage OF Miss Barnard, a Fall River
heiress to Philip Sculy, her grandmother's
coachman, published few months ago.
The marriage was kept quiet by the interested
parties for time. When it leaked out Philip
and his fair young bride did not wait for any in
terviews with the angry grandmothers. but fed
in a hurry to Providence. The husband did not
find it easy to obtain employment in that city,
and their slender stock of money rapidly
diminished when removal was made to Paw
tucket. They soon became tired of Pawtucket,
and after short stays in various places, came to
Lowell about week ago. They had on their
arrival two trunks and seventy-fve cents in
cash.
Scully could not obtain employment. and hig
disheartened wife, sooner than face starvation,
determined to return TO her home in Fall River.
In order to obtain money to pay her fare, she
was obliged to appeal to the overseers of the
poor. Her last words to her husband before
taking the train were that she would endeavoE
to reconcile her relations to their marriage.
Her grandmother has said that she would never
forgive her escapade.

EXPLORER STANLEY.
A Zanzibar Telegram States that He Has
Been Killed by n Band of Natives.

A Zanzibar Telegram States that He Has
Been Killed by n Band of Natives.
LONDON. Aug. IA dispatch from Zanzibar
which says that Henry NJ. Stanley, the explorer,
has been massacred by natives after having been
deserted by his escort Neither the British For
eign Office the Emin Boy relief committee
has received any news regarding the alleged
massacre of Stanley. The officials at the Foreign
Office are surprised at tho intelligence in the dis
patch received by the French government, and
say that if news of Stanley's death had been re-
ceved at Zanzibar the British agent there had
failed to send it. The report comes from ex
celent source, but it is suspected that the story
is an echo of the statement telegraphed from st.
Thomas, few weeks ago. and is generally dis
credited. Indeed not half much credence is
given to this report as was bestowed upon the
previous one, and the popular prediction is that
subsequent information will disclose the fact
that the African explorer is alive and well.
Sir Francis DeWinton, president of the Emin
Bey relief committee, has expressed his belief
that it is impossible for trustworthy news of
after his arrival at Aruwhimi, on June II, and
therefore advises that no credence be given to
the report of the explorers death.
At the Office of the Congo Free State Associa-
ton in Brussels, and in other well-informed cir
cles there the report that Stanley was murdered
is discredited.
Letters were received in London to-day, writ
ten at Yambuya, village near the rapids of the

Attemptee Tra,n-yyrecl,inp.

ST. Louis, Aug. IA diabolical attempt was
made tonight to wreck the outgoing passenger
strain on the Ohio 81 Mississippi railroad, but

Clancy, of the East St. Louis police force, waf
Walking out the o. & NJ. track, about 8 o'clock,
he discovered at the crossing of that road and
the belt line, which encirces the eastern part OF
the city. that two coupling pins had been driven
into the frog of the track, evidently with the
design of wrscking the train. The outgoing
passenger was nearly due, and no time was to
be lost. With the aid of big rock, but only
after much labor, Clancy released the pins from
the frog and moment later the train sped its
occupants all unconscious of the danger they
had escaped. The tracks at this point on
high embankment, and had the train struck the
pins it would have been dashed down the em'
bankment and fearful loss of life would doubt
less have ensued. No is yet suspected OF
the fiendish act, nor can any motive for 1t be
assigned.

nominate the anti iadministrationists as ''the

IT. PETERSBURG, Aug. 1.-THE Journal de-
j.. Petersburg says the Russian embassy at
Constantinople has handed to the Porte a pro-
test against Prince Ferd inands occupancy of
the Bulgarian throne. It declares that he has
been guilty of an audacious attempt against the
rights of the powers. and that the responsibility
for his advent and for his fragrant viola ton Of
these rights must now rest entirely with him,
even should the other powers think ft to per-
NIT the violation of their privileges. The Jour
nal, however, makes this pertinent inquiry: Can
it be supposed that Russia will consider herself
alone bound to become the defender of what re-
mains of the Berlin treaty."
